R1:  (1) Colin Fleming & Lovro Zovko (CRO) vs Martin Fischer & Philipp Oswald (AUT/AUT)

R1:  Frederik Nielsen (DEN) & Ken Skupski vs Thomas Fabiano & Izak van der Merwe (ITA/RSA)

If Ken & Freddie manage to get past Fabbiano & van der Merwe tomorrow, they won't have to worry about having to face the Ratis in the QF:  they've just been beaten by the local WCs, Brizzi & Volante, in two TBs! wink

Final:

Frederik Nielsen (DEN) & Ken Skupski vs Michal Elgin & Alexander Kudryavtsev (RUS/RUS)

Those pesky Russkies are going to be no pushover... pray.gif  Didn't Colin & Ross beat them in the final in the Astana Challenger towards the end of last year?  Maybe Ken should ask Colin for a bit of inside info... wink
